[Vibrant General] hpz937:
the flash plugin has been giving me a bunch of browser crashes, not sure if that is you issue but seems to work for me with it turned off
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
It started happening to me today. It was working all this week with locations turned on and google as my home page, however this morning I opened the browser and it closed by itself, repeatedly. I realized that it had something to do with location as it closed imediately after "updating location". I set the browser not to use the location and now it works fine.

However, now I get "location unavailable" and a link to update. If I click update, then the browser closes, so it seems to be related to lbs.

What I don;t understand is why it started happening yesterday, after a week of normal operations.

I really hope the GPS and compass are fixed in the next release/OTA update, otherwise, back to my nexus one.
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Did anyone ever find a fix for this? It happens intermittently on my phone. I turn off location sensing and use it for a while that way and it works fine. Usually, I can re-enable location the next day and everything is okay for a few days before it starts automatically closing again.
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
Time to use m.bing.com :)
[Vibrant General] leglevy:
Google.com force closing

Happened to me too. Here's the fix:

Go into browser. Before it finishes loading Google.com, go into Settings and disable Location and Plugins.

Now use a task killer to fully kill the browser.

The final step is to go into the browser again and re-enable everything.

Did it work for you?

On an unrelated note, this seems like a Galaxy-S bug:

"Originally Posted by Samsung_Engineer

As Mentioned above, you can either disable Java or the plug-in options in the browser settings for the time being. We have fixed this issue and the soon-to-be-released Maintenance release includes this fix.

Thanks for choosing Samsung!

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I figured the reason why we're waiting so long for the GPS fix is because it's being bundled in with other fixes.
[Vibrant General] Skatturbrain:
Well this quote squashes any hope of getting Froyo in sept along with the GPS fix since they are calling it a Maintenance release. I was hoping they were going to give us a surprise with the GPS and bug fixes for all of our troubles... :(
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
I asked about this issue a long time ago when the Vibrant was first released. No proposed solution consistently works. Therefore I just leave location off for Google.com. Try using the application "Places" as an alternative to the Google.com location-enabled local search.

Hopefully this bug is fixed in the future.
[Vibrant General] Ankheperure:
I don't know why, but mine seems to have mysteriously fixed itself. I even have the gps on to find out if it WILL close by itself and..nothing. It works fine now after two and a half weeks of not working. Finds my location and doesn't close. :confused:
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Just give it a bit and it will start crashing again ;-p

Just kidding, hopefully it stays working for you. For those of us for whom it doesn't work, check out places directory in the market.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] taurusqh:
Hi there, I'm using VaniljEclair RLS7c, Android 2.1 (downloaded from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700669)

I've installed a game named ShootU.

But when I play it, the screen shows not properly.

I still installed some other games and faced almost the same problem.

I got a screenshot of ShootU as below, anybody knows how to fix this problem?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] taurusqh:
I've tried to set the density to 160 in startup.txt and it works.

BUT the icon and text in the desktop and other UI became too large. If I want to use the normal density, I'll have to shutdown and edit the startup.txt and reboot. It's very inconvenient.

Is there any solution?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mensa07:
If you are using NANDroid it is much easier you can use rogue tool to change density

as for haret users we are restricted with following:

- modifying default/startup.txt (currently any lcd mod to default.txt is no longer recognized by kernel---I cannot use this)

- modifying /system/build.prop (copy build.prop change density [ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx], put it on the /system folder and use 7zip to create androidupdate.tar. put it on /andboot folder, run haret, use menu to manually install it just like another update. btw, create two version of this)

So there is not convenient way to change density

PS: I read somewhere that metamorph can be used to prevent certain app to use wrong density, but I still do not know how :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
wrong place, sorry
[Touch Cruise Android Development] taurusqh:
Thx mensa07.

I've tried ShootU in a 2.2 build (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo), the density is default(maybe 120) and it runs fine!!!

But I sometimes got no response in this biuld and had to reboot. :(

btw, have u tried the overclocking in RogueTools? Did it work?

I've tried, but it seems no change when I use linpack to test the cpu. The scores (around 1.9)are just a little higher than in the 400MHz(around 1.6).

And I've run linpack in a 2.2 build (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo). Even in 400MHz, the scores are much higher (around 2.4-2.6).

So is that 2.2 has a better performance than 2.1?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mensa07:
have you tried different resolution for the game? like 320x480 (160) or 320 x 428 (160).

the most comfortable resolution is 320x240 (110) but some apps refuse to open

as for overclocking I have tried but not successful.

I am not sure about linpack score. I think it does not represent real life performance.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Flash on nand...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] DmK75:
This is only Eclair bug, image cannot scale properly.

Decrease lcd.density to 112 if used 240x320, but better use Donut/Froyo.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] taurusqh:
I've tried 320 x 428 (160) but the game was displayed in a smaller window not full screen and the rest of the screen was black.

I'm using froyo 2.2 now. I feel it's faster than Eclare. And the games run well.
[Vibrant General] TGA_Gunnman:
wesgarner is the developer assigned to the Vibrant.

Wes needs two things to get the ball rolling. A laptop replacement and a Vibrant.

I just donated $25 and he is at about $175 in donations. Donate and lets get this phone off the ground.

Yup, wes scammed them all. Lol that's why I dont donate... Wes, f u buddy
[Vibrant General] mmas0n:
A very elaborate scam where Wes convinced Samsung to take forever to release Froyo for Vibrant and the accompanying source code........
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
Lawl seriously

don't know about everyone else but I've been enjoying cm6.1 on my vibrant since yesterday...I didn't know how much I'd missed it since having my G1

sent from my vibrant running CM6.1 and it rules life hard...get into it!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaneaus:
Anyone know how to get rid of the custom ATT Market? I would like to replace it with the stock Android Market app so that I can see my list of downloads!

I had over 70 apps installed on my G1. It would be nice to see the list of apps I had purchased to re-download - instead of seeing that crappy ATT button at the top right!!!!

I installed the Market.apk and vending.apk from the Nexus! CM5 gapps.zip file. But, there must be something telling the Market app on this device to alter the menu!

Dam irritating!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaneaus:
Oh, just found that if I select the menu button there is a Download button to see that same screen as indicated above.

Would still be nice to leave out that extra step as I could CARE LESS WHAT THE CRAPPY ATT wants me to see!!! :mad:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] oOamnesiaOo:
Turn Airplane mode on, turn wifi on and connect to wifi. Now browse market sans AT&T.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaneaus:
I hear you.... But, there should be a way for us to delete some files or change some code so that we don't have to take the above steps.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dsjr2006:
Verizon does the same thing. Is this really such a big issue???
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaneaus:
Guess I'm just spoiled! LOL! I like opening up the Market and having the option to see all of my purchased/installed apps with the touch of a button instead of having that other STUPID button up there that I'LL NEVER USE!

Just the modder in me! I pushed the stock Market and vending apk's from CM5 - but, it still opened up with the stupid ATT button.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kaptainreboot:
Market Enabler does this function for you. Google search for it but you have to side load it and be rooted. Have to launch it & config for T-Mobile b4 each Appworld visit on your phone.

Works like a charm.

Hi friends...

sorry for my english...

I have on my Kaiser WM 6.5.5

My question how can I add to my rom pc connection Bluetooth DUN on Internet Sharing?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joeriginal:
I would like to remove these wallpapers preferably without using a computer maybe just a file explorer, and thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joeriginal:
Also if there is a way to do it through adb I would appreciate the help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mith500:
Sorry if this has been brought up before....i tried searching but couldn't find anything.

I seem to be having a problem and don't know how to solve it:

When someone calls, it only rings on the phone and not in the headphones as well.

So if I am listening to music and I get a call, the phone rings and the music pauses but there is no ringtone in the headphones??

I am using the stock megabass (wired) headphones that came in the box with the x10. I have no problems answering the call and speaking using the hands-free.

I am on the generic UK R2BA020 firmware.

Any assistance would be great.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayamo:
I don't know about the wired phone, but it definitely works for my mw600 that came with the phone..

I just tried calling myself using another phone while listening to music on mediascape through bluetooth..

so when the phone(regular) starts ringing, the phone beeps(maybe through bluetooth, i forget) and then the music stops, and then i hear the ringtone through the bluetooh a second after the music pauses...

and then when i stop the call, the music plays again :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeydrufy:
Hi guys,

Is there any mod to improve the audio volume from the rear speaker?

especially with youtube it's very low instead with sygic navigator is good

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z51:
i think it varies by the video. make sure HQ is on
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeydrufy:
it is on but every video have low volume
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyx3:
Yeah, a software pre-amp volume boost would be great.

It's not just Youtube.

I listen to a lot of podcasts that are nearly inaudible on my N1 without headphones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason.hamilton:
This would be pretty sweet. I use the audio jack to connect to my car to play over the radio since i dont have a fancy aux jack in my car radio. It is not nearly as loud as the normal radio. I cant drive w/ the windows down because i cant her the music at max volume.
[Desire General] Zjoske:
My phone is draining quite quickly. Lost 30% in 2 hours without doing anything. Also, it gets pretty warm and the data arrows are constantly active. So there must be an app that's using bandwidth and draining my battery.

Is there an app in the market that shows which apps use the bandwidth?

Reboot doesn't help and I don't have any refreshing webpages open so it's a big mystery for me which app causes this drain...
[Desire General] panosx:
No need for an app. Just press *#*#4636#*#*
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
Yes it sounds like you have a dodgy app. Two main culprits are the engadget widget, and having igoogle as your home page.

To find our what's doing it, either install the 'spare parts' app from the market, or (simpler) go to your dialer and key in *#*#info#*#*

This will access the hidden menu that the spare parts app gets you into. In here, select 'battery history' and you can select from a drop-down different parts of your phone that use barry power. Select ' network usage' and 'partial wake usage'. I believe this will highlight the culprit for you.

Hope this helps.
[Desire General] Zjoske:
Thanks, I see a lot of network traffic being used by "1013". Does anyone know what that is? Clicking it crash the info-app.
[Desire General] sbdags:
The calendar app is 1011 which is the main culprit on mine. It's not the calendar widget is it? Try force closing the calendar app and widget and reboot.
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
From doing a bit of digging, it looks like this 1013 is a "mediaserver" process, (Whatever that means) and that no one seems certain exactly what it is. But it does seem that people are seeing it stop when they remove Weatherbug and/or the youtube widget. Do you have either of these installed?

Open up the Android Marketplace and select 'downloads'. This will show you your installed apps in the order you installed them. The most recent at the top. Start removing the most recent apps one by one until you see the 1013 process stop.

If you manage to put your finger on the culprit, you can help lots of people out here. Check out the threads on this forum under "Network usage by 1013".
[Desire General] vlasac:
After all is there any application which could show data traffic in Kb per application?
[Desire General] bridgstfer:
I too have found a mysterious app/process using the majority of my data called "0" clicking it force closes the app.

Anyone else have this?
[Desire General] elburna:
Additionally to "0" i also have the processes "1014" and "1010" listed under *#*#4636#*#*. Anybody out there who knows what they exactly do as they consume quite a bit of my data-amount?
[Desire General] elburna:
Anybody? No Dev around here who knows every process personally and by name :) ?
[Desire General] st0kes:
Netcounter.

Free and awesome. Find it in the market, more info here: http://www.jaqpot.net/netcounter/
[Desire General] MXdar:
I had the same issue, Solved it by deinstalling the k9-mail app, which was causing the 1013 flooding.
[Desire General] victorhooi:
heya,

st0kes: Hmm, yes, but from what I can tell, NetCounter only tells you total data traffic, whereas what we're talking about here is traffic per app

For me, the data traffic arrows starting being lit up near constantly this morning, even though I wasn't doing anything active, as such. I also noticed the data usage counter in my Credit Usage app going up steadily. Bit worrying.

On my, it's showing an app "1010" as using a lot of traffic - anybody have any idea what that is?

Is it actually feasible to make an app that logs network traffic by app? Is something like that possible via the SDK?

Cheers,

Victor
[Desire General] flashsam:
You can see the data usage by app by using 'Network TrafficStats'
[XPERIA X10 General] silent souljah:
when i go into the contacts menu, choose a contact and press the number to dial, instead of going straight into dialing mode which it did before the rogers update, it now displays the number when clicking the number in which i have to press call, a whole extra step. Any ways to fix this?
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
i thought it should seen as a improvement?:confused:

now you can now always edit before call , previously you need to call first and edit the number from call list
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Does it for me too, but as a lot of my contacts have two numbers I prefer it as I don't always tap the right number.
[XPERIA X10 General] newalopez:
well, when I do travel, because of Roaming/Local numbers, I prefer the number showing up instead of call direct :), STILL, I would like a fast way to call, I do at the moment 4 taps to it...
[XPERIA X10 General] njfpolyr6:
yeah, everyone has known about this one. But got this apk file from somewhere in the forum or the net (i dun remember)

hope everyone like it :D

[Desire Themes and Apps] peewster:
I'm wondering if there is such a app for parity checks like par2 of gpar2 for linux.
[HTC Aria Android Development] redapex:
This is for those of you that may need warranty work, exchanges whatever. It may or may not be an issue but im sure many of you have noticed that clockwork will pop up whenever the phone is powered off with a usb connection present. Which in most cases would be an immediate red flag for those of you needing work done. This will completely restore your phone and remove the clockwork recovery flash.

Update: I no long have an Aria to try this with but if you guys are running into issues try this as well.

1.) Download ATT Original Shipped ROM file from here:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/

2.) Disconnect USB connection to phone.

3.) Power down phone

4.) Boot into Fastboot Menu (hold trackpad on start)

5.) Insert USB

6.) confirm that the phone shows "FASTBOOT USB"

7.) Run downloaded exe file

8.) Process will take a few min at the end you should have a 100% restored and unrooted phone.

It may seem self explanatory now but I was running into issues getting the HTC tool to communicate with the phone and it would fail whenever trying to send the phone into the bootloader. Thought I would just save you guys the headache.
[HTC Aria Android Development] arsinic:
thanks for your solution. was thinking about unrooting my phone and exchanging my aria for a samsung captative...
[HTC Aria Android Development] asiancuta:
thanks man. doubt i'll do this, but i might need this just incase ATT and HTC actually come through with a stable update to froyo 2.2 within the next couple months.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gorilla800lbs:
I think it will be safe to assume that said 2.2 ROM will begin floating around in a rooted form not before too long, and will be flashable via recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
this is great info to have. great work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bred904:
???

has anyone actually tried this? because my pc dosent recognize phone when i try
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
install Android SDK USB drivers first
[HTC Aria Android Development] bred904:
??

i think i did... i installed something from google called android-sdk. and when i connect my phone in bootloader i can see fastboot change to fastboot usb and my pc says driver successfully installed. but when i run the .exe file it never sees my phone. also htc sync wont connect and neither will droid explorer. thanks:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] arsinic:
i agree with bred, can't seem to restore the original rom. it doesn't recognize it during the process
[HTC Aria Android Development] mkoby:
I have tried this method on 2 computers and the exe can NEVER find my phone.

I have installed the SDK USB drivers, my computer sees the Android 1.0 device and sees it as the HTC booloader. And I see FASTBOOT and FASTBOOT USB when unplugged/plugged.

----UPDATE 2010-07-23----

After further research I was able to determine that even with the device NOT in FASTBOOT mode, that adb couldn't see it, so I thought it might be a driver issue.

I've gotten my computer to recognize the device when it's booted normally. But when put the device in FASTBOOT or the BOOTLOADER, adb can't recognize it and I can't get the recover exe to recognize the device, regardless of mode.

I have the latest clockwork recovery installed and I would like to get everything back to factory to exchange for a captivate.
[HTC Aria Android Development] beazie0885:
theres no way to do a nandroid backup or anything like that? curious because i was going to take mine back tomorrow to exchange for the captivate as well. i bought mine from radioshack so i might try my luck and just return it rooted :rolleyes:. i did the trade in program with them with my iphone and it was jailbroken and they still accepted it. i dont think i would try that with at&t though... worse comes to worse just return it and say it was like that when you got it! ;) maybe an at&t employee messed around with it before you bought it. they cant prove it was you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] beazie0885:
Can anyone confirm this works? Just in case. This might be something I will need to do quick fast and in a hurry in the morning. And I'm hoping that if it comes down to this I won't have any issues.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mkoby:
I have been thoroughly unsuccessful in getting this method to work.

I have tried it on 3 different computers and I can never get the HTC OriginalShipRom.exe to find my phone.

I have tried following the instructions to the letter, I have also tried plugging in while booting the phone into various menus (HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and regular booting), which was advice given to me in the IRC room.

I'm plugging the phone in right after I click "Next" on the "Plug your phone into the usb port" right as it shows the "Verifying data on your PDA" window. I have tried with the phone in HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and while booting the phone, none of these seem to work.

I've also tried it with just plugging the phone in and running the exe. Nothing seems to work. People in the IRC channel are claiming successful factory restores, but I can't seem to get it to work.

So can someone please update the first post with more thorough instructions? Because those instructions don't seem to work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
The following instructions came directly from the HTC webiste for restoring the original state of the phone.

1. Download and save the HTC Aria™ Original Software to your PC.

2. Power your device off.

3. Connect your device to your PC via the data USB cable.

4. On the device, press and hold the Volume Down and Power Button until you get the bootloader screen (a white screen with 3 Androids on the bottom).

5. Press the Power Button once to enter FastBoot mode.

6. Locate the HTC Aria™ Original Software that you downloaded and double-click on the file to launch the RUU Wizard.

7. Follow all of the RUU Wizard instructions shown on your PC.

8. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the RUU Wizard and the device will reboot.

9. Once the device reboots it will run through the Customization Process; this must be allowed to complete.

10. Once the Customization process is complete, the device is then ready for use.

I hope this helps. I haven't tried it yet, but would like to know if this works in case I need to do this as well.
